Have you checked your keyboard binding?
I had the issue a few times with some annoying out of band cards or exotic keyboards.

Re: Import sample roles from vCenter to ESXi hosts
I figured it out, you have to add the vCenter server to the domain by going through the web client and adding the domain as an identity source. After that, you'll be able to see your domain in the dropdown when adding permissions.

Re: server sql dababase whitout backup
Create a new vmdk with any other Windows VM you have.
Format it with NTFS and then remove it from that VM.
Add the formatted VMDK to your problem VM.
Boot problem VM from Windows-iso into recovery mode and copy out your data with cmd.exe

Re: Powercli 6.5 memory leak
Yes, vijaysaiv, thanks again for the tip! I actually upgraded to PowerCli 11.2 but to be honest, I still think there's something incredibly wrong with their implementation - extracting data for a couple hundred VMs takes as much as 900 MB of RAM. In any case, I am good for the time being.

Re: Which version of Workstation Pro runs on WIndows 7 32bit?
Hi,
Workstation 11 and up only install on 64 bits host OS's.
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2088579
So the last VMware Workstation you would be able to use is WS 10.

View 7.8 - Windows 10 1809 - SSO - CTRL-ALT-Del issue
I have a pool that is ready to go for deployment except that when a user logs in, they have to press CTRL-ALT-DEL to continue the SSO process. I have another pool with the same GPOs applied and this does not happen, but it is an older version of Windows (1703 I believe). I've attached a video showing the issue. I have an SR open on this but they haven't responded. I suspect it is a simple thing I've missed so I'm hoping someone can throw me a bone. Thanks!

Re: Custom Appstack
Anyone know if the "fix" they put into the 2.16 Agent was just an entry for msiexec into the HookInjectionWhitelist key?
After comparing the contents of the HookInjectionWhitelist from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\svdriver\Parameters between a master image with 2.14.2 and 2.16 agents installed I have noticed there is a single difference. The master image with the 2.16 Agent has an extra line with *msiexec.exe||* . This doesn't exist on a master image with 2.14.2 agent installed.
Willing to bet this could be the "fix"...

Powerpoint slide show
I have a customer who want to have a MS Powerpoint slideshow to run on a VDI Zero client that is running in kiosk mode, we run a IC (Instant Clone) network but this particular zero client is only connected to a specific user account. Secondly our virtual image is locked down and I can drop the powerpoint slide on the desktop but if there is a power cycle of any kind then the system will reboot causing the zero client to get a new session and I will have to go back and add the slideshow again. I have researched and researched this but I fail to come up with a better solution, if anyone have any suggestion they will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Workstation 14.1.7 won't autostart VMUSBArbService
I tried many things without success. I eventually found a work-around though.
Some of the things that didn't work:
*) I restored the Host Windows 10 back to 1803, removed Workstation, updated to 1809, re-installed workstation.
*) Various flavors of installing with '/clean' or '/r'. Various 'repair installation' attempts.
*) Manually deleting registry keys and vmware directories on C: between re-installs.
*) Installing Workstation 15.1
At least for the moment, it appears that changing the services
'VMWare USB Arbitration Service'
and 'VMWare Workstation server'
from starting as 'Automatic' to 'Automatic (Delayed start)' seems to prevent the Event logs. And, the arbitration service now auto starts (after a few minutes anyway...)
I don't have any antivirus other than the built-in Windows Defender. So why I am seeing a 'File not found' error when the file seems to clearly exist is not obvious to me (when using regular auto-start). And, things previously seemed to be working fine at Windows 10 1803 (before it updated to 1809). Maybe a timing issue.
I tried this work-around thanks to the similar sounding topic (for Workstation 15) at VMware Workstation 15.0.3 USB Arbitration Service Won't Start Automatically .

Dynamic Menu Help
I am trying to build a script that populates a menu using a get command. I have everything working up until the part where when I make my menu selection, I need that menu item to be used in the next command. In this script I am getting VM tag names using:
Get-TagCategory -Name BackUps | Get-Tag | select name | Out-File C:\VMWare-TXTfiles\VeeamTags.txt -force
I then get the content of the file and populate the menu:
$v = get-content 'C:\VMWare-TXTfiles\VeeamTags.txt' | select-object -skip 3
$list = @($v)
# Create blank array to hold menu
$formattedList = @()
# Even Odd Columns
for($i=0;$i -lt $list.Count; $i+=2) {
# Check if even exists
if ($list[$i+1] -ne $null) {
$formattedList += [PSCustomObject]@{
Odd = "$($i+1). $($list[$i])";
Even = "$($i+2). $($list[$i+1])"
}
}
else {
$formattedList += [PSCustomObject]@{
Odd = "$($i+1). $($list[$i])";
Even = ""
}
}
}
# Output menu
$formattedList | Format-Table -HideTableHeaders
So the menu looks like this, it is 86 items in total but you get the point:
1. MGMT-0330 2. STRETCHWLD01-1000
3. CLU01-2330 4. STRETCHWLD01-1530
And I get prompted to choose a tag, When I choose one of the tags. I need it to populate the command: get-vm -tag ""
So if I choose 1 it would do the following: get-vm -tag MGMT-0330
I have this as my next line.
Switch ($input){
'1' {get-vm -tag <tag name from menu>}
I am guessing I need to some how change that 1 to a variable and whats inside the tag name from menu to something? Anyone ever done and thing like this? Thanks for the help...

Re: Powerpoint slide show
Use something like UEM to place to create a shortcut to open the slide, and place that shortcut in the startup menu. That way the file is always there and opens after the linked clone starts.

[Problem]: VMDK Disk space
Hello VMwarers!
When I add Data to my VM surely VMDK size is increasing so when I delete that data my VMDK doesn't decrease so why is that and how to solve it?
Surely I use thin Disk space for my VMs, when I create my VMs I leave everything at the defaults.

Re: [Problem]: VMDK Disk space
If you want to free up disk space, you may use the shrink option, which - depending on the guest OS - zeroes out unused disk space within the guest's file sytem, and then shrinks the .vmdk file sizes. Please note that the shrink process actually clones the .vmdk file (i.e. copies used blocks into new files), so that you will need additional (temporary) free disk space on the host.

Rebooting Appvolumes Manager 2.10 after SQL disk filled up and has since been resolved.
Recently our one of our Disks on the SQL server filled up. we resolved this however since this time frame i can no longer Update Appstacks.

I can however create a new Appstack, but if then need to update it i get the same errors as above.
Can i reboot the Windows 2012 box hosting Appvolumes Manager 2.10. ( Standalone). Or do i have to detach all Appstacks first ?
If i do reboot Appvolumes Manager , what is the effect on currently attached appstacks.
and Lastly when Appvolumes Services start. will it sync and discover all attached Appstacks ?

Re: Reset root password
Hi jhyiesla,
Welcome to communities.
Please confirm that you have entered rw init=/bin/bash as shown in the below screenshot
Press F10 to access the command prompt.
Later enter the below commands
- mount -o remount,rw /
- /sbin/pam_tally2 -r -u root
Mostly you might see a similar output as below
Later enter the below command
a.passwd root
This should help to reset the password. Once the new password is set type reboot -f
Post reboot we should be able to login with the newly set root password.
To address the inactive skyline collector status, kindly share the account name, the email address used to register skyline, collector id in the below link.
